After months of neglect, I managed to get a post up on Reverb, UTF’s Official Blog. As a special favor to me, please check out my most recent post at Reverb. Just like I started a grass roots effort of one person for Timmy back in 2000, I’m trying to help with this grass roots effort. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
Update: I updated the link to point to the right place. Sorry about that. Been a long couple of days.
If you’re subscribed to Reverb, you may need to update the old RSS feed with a new RSS feed. I made some changes, and it’s possible you will need to update the feed for this blog if you no longer receive updates via your favorite RSS reader.
If you’ve tried to visit the Reverb or even UTF for that matter, you probably encountered some “file not found” pages in addition to a sluggish (slow) site and other issues. I apologize for that. My host was having some major issues, and my site, along with hundreds (if not thousands) of other customers got knocked off line. The issue seems to be resolved for the most part; however, my host is still having issues. I can’t guarantee that Reverb or UTF won’t go back out again. Paying for true 99% uptime is a bit more expensive.
Prior to the outages, I was able to make a large amount of progress on UTF version 5. The site is 98% complete. I would have been closer to finishing and launching sooner, but I’m nearly three days behind schedule thanks to intermittent site outages. I still have some backend work to complete, but UTF v5 will launch really soon. Timmy has seen the new site and thinks it’s great. Everyone else will soon see that it’s a vast improvement over the current version of the site. Stay tuned to Reverb to find out when the new site (and very much improved) launches.
Effective immediately, the Official UTF Newsletter will no longer be delivered to subscribers via email. Between this blog and the new version of UTF (which really is coming soon), I no longer see the need to maintain the newsletter. You can subscribe to the latest UTF news on Reverb by subscribing to the RSS feed. The new version of UTF will also have RSS, so you will get the news and updates instantly in your favorite RSS reader.
